Other successes

Grade 1 tenor horn passed with merit, spring term 2013.

Transfer from one swim school to another, currently in stage 5.

Still at cubs, playing in the band and street dancing.

End of year 3

Good grief! A whole year has passed and I have not blogged about how awful it has been! Perhaps that's a good thing.

On the bright side, huge progress academically.

Reading 4c (equivalent to the end of year 5)
Maths 4c (as above)
Writing 3b (equivalent to the end of year 4)

The challenge for year 3 was to read longer books, which he achieved.  He has read the whole set of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the whole set of Mr Gum, the first two Harry Potter books (about half a dozen times each!) and a couple of Michael Morpurgo books, plus other odd bits and pieces.

Next year's reading challenge is to read more widely rather than rereading favourites all of the time.

He knows most of his tables, although this needs some revision before we start year 4.

Current obsessions are Harry Potter,  Star Wars, car manufacturers, warhammer and dominion.

We are trying out lots of different pens to find one he can write neatly and quickly with.

His report was very accurate academically, very inaccurate for his general comments.
